Los Angeles Lakers' Anthony Davis out four weeks with MCL sprain in left knee

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will miss about four weeks with an MCL sprain in his left knee before being reevaluated, the team announced on Saturday.

Davis suffered the injury in the third quarter of Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, when Wolves forward Jaden McDaniels lost his balance and tumbled into the knee.

Davis attempted to limp off the court to the Lakers' locker room without assistance, but ESPN's broadcast cameras showed him collapsing to the ground in pain when making his way through the tunnel.

The Lakers conducted an MRI exam in Chicago on Saturday that revealed the sprain.
